Course Overview | School counselors are often tasked with developing units and lessons without having the support and training that teachers and curriculum developers have had. This course is designed to build your skills in planning curriculum using the Understanding by Design (UbD) backward planning process. Design time will be built in so that you may collaborate with others and receive personalized support from the facilitator as you create your lessons. Upon completion of the course, you will have access to a “Lesson Library” composed of all the lessons created by your colleagues. |
